Good atmosphere and excellent service. Enjoyed freshly made food. The server was the best she was very good 👍. They do countdown for Marti Gras and have the beeds ready to go. Bartender makes/cooks own mixers.
Great service and food. I had a wonderful micro brew, the Couyon Tri-tip, which was great and a good old-fashioned for desert - guilty pleasure. The steak was cooked just as I asked but the most fun surprise to me was the hasbrowns, they were really good. Overall, I will definitely come back. I would recommend it to anyone. Only thing if you are by yourself, be prepared to let the staff know because they thought I was waiting for someone and hey didn't want to be pushy.
During my recent New Year's Eve celebration at Ragtime Bar, I was thoroughly impressed by the vibrant atmosphere and exceptional service, particularly from our bartender, Yuby. Her warmth and attentiveness elevated the entire evening, making it a truly memorable experience. Yuby's expertise shone through with each of her recommendations, from the perfectly crafted cocktails to the delightful food pairings she suggested. Every choice she made was spot-on, enhancing our celebration with wonderful flavors and unique combinations. Thanks to her outstanding service and personable nature, I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Ragtime Bar.
After spending a solemn morning at Arlington’s cemetery, we found this great place around the court house in Arlington. The ambiance, sitting outside, was great. The service and food were outstanding and this is a place I cannot only highly recommend, it’ll also be a place I’ll return to the next time I’m in town.
Love this place, there's always something going on. Very lively and great drinks. I wish they hosted more comedy nights, I had such a great time the last time I went.
TLDR: Great pub food! We got the Voodoo Grilled Chicken Wings, French Quarter Dip with Tots, and the Shrimp Po’ Boy with Mac and Cheese. The wings were good but could have used some more seasoning. They came with delicious sides of blue cheese and ranch. The po boy was amazing - crunchy, fresh, and tangy. The French dip also tasted fresh and was warm and comforting. The tots were hot and crispy! The Mac and cheese was creamy!
Absolutely love this place! Always went to their other location in Vienna, Bear Branch and found out about this. Great staff, excellent food and great vibe. We love it!! During the snowstorm, they put their staff in a hotel nearby and opened. The place was packed, good move on their part.
I’ve been to Ragtime twice now, and both visits have been great. On my most recent trip, the place was busy when I arrived, but the service never missed a beat. The bartender (short dark hair and glasses— I wish I caught her name!) was very attentive and welcoming throughout. Ragtime has a warm, “locals” vibe that makes it feel instantly comfortable. The drink and food options are solid, with very reasonable prices compared to other spots in the area. I also loved the thoughtful detail of having notes on each TV showing which football game would be playing and when…such a simple but incredibly helpful touch for sports fans. Overall, Ragtime has quickly become one of my favorite neighborhood bars. Great atmosphere, great service, and great value. I’ll definitely be back!
I’ve been on the hunt for the best buffalo chicken wrap and this place has taken the number one spot away from Dogwood Tavern who is a close second. It’s the perfect hot sauce, a delicious funky blue cheese and they do the portions right. Do yourself a favor and pair it with the tater tots, you won’t be disappointed. Edit: I’ve now been back multiple times and have yet to have a bad wrap. It’s always 🔥
I came to Arlington under difficult circumstances for a funeral, but dinner here was a much-needed bright spot. The food is truly out of this world—easily the best restaurant meal I’ve had in a long time. The gumbo is hands-down the best I’ve ever tasted, the crab cake dip is to die for, and the jambalaya is absolutely incredible. Even the tuna was impressive. To top it off, we had Jessica as our server, and she was outstanding—easily the best waitress I’ve ever had. This place is a must-visit!
